SOU our uodFLS ab taSc,
Old time may creep behind her. and
cover with disease.
What songs of woe and horror, a
passing day may sing,
How soon from joy to sadness, a
sudden change may bring,
The history of a day is made, but
stop and tell US how,
Delays are not permitted here, but
must be started now.
A moment can't be wasted, or half
a moment lost,
But time will be demanding, and
calling for its cost,
Yet remember that each duty, must
be properly performed,
Or the time for its performance,
will be forever gone.
What is time, that we should give,
such ever earnest need,
Why can't we disregard it, and
spend just as we need?
Time to man is mystery and has no
resting place.
It comes in from eternity, and ends
it day in space.
Why should we stop to ponder,
and take such notes of time,
Why not disregard it, and act as
we're inclined?
But time will sure arrest Us, by it's
rapid flight,
And will touch our ebon locks and
change them into white.
The man who don't keep up with
time, as q companion dear,
How soon he falls behind the time,
and in different sphere,
Stupid, mean and ignorant, with
never nothing new,
Those people who are. up with time,
find little use for you.
Where did you first meet with time,
can any answer this,
Then where did time first meet with
you, was in mist?
If it was mist tits blown away so
that you could grow,
Until old time should come around
and lay our bodies low.
We like time can't be detained, we
have no place to stay,
Our spirit goes we know not where,
our bodies to the clay,
Times ever changing while we live
always growing old,
Time passes and forgotten is "just
as q tale that tOld.'
In what strange world did wereside
before we entered this!
Where oh! where will we abide,
when driven off from this?
We will have old father time at
tend us all the way,
He will escort US down through life
until we end our day.
How shall we meet old father time,
when he calls for pay,
Put him off as printers bills, please
call some other day,
Or will we raise our battle axe to
drive him from our door,
Or try to chop him into bits, and
leave these on the floor?
The friends We meet and greet to
day, we may never meet them
more,
Time may bring the dreaded news,
our meeting here is DER,
Time alone decides for all when
each shall cease to greet,
Time will fix and time alone when
hearts shall cease to beat.
Solomon's writing hath declared, a
time for everything,
ga time to dance, to love and hate,
ofCu tih0 W oluSJ
He also gives us time for births, as
well as time to die,
Grave old men find time to laugh,
women time to cry.
Nowhere did Solomon fix q time for
the women rest,
It was the merest accident, Eve
found leaves to dress,
Women must be up in time, and
always near at hand,
Have every wish and notion bright
made ready for the man. =
So many go to look for time, gel
dreary by the way,
Only wakes to be informed thai
| time has passed a day,

THE PRINTERS.
Yesterdays work In the Intern s.
tiOnnl Convention mt Buffalo.
[By telegraph TO the Dispatch


BUFFALO, n. Y, June ia sensation
was developed In the Typographical Con-
yention during the secret session yesterday
afternoon, the particulars OF which are slow.
~ leaking out. When the doors were OPEN
ed and the reporters admitted after The 81
cret session they found the convention BAL
lottng for secretary.trcasurer This gave
rise 10 the query what had become OF Pas
cOe. Though every delegate was sworn
10 secrecy there was 50 much o,tent lt'Ous
mystery that curiosity was cdllhageI
and every holder OF the secret was over
burdened with it. II was learned list
night tina; Pascoe bad rendered has rcs'g-
nation, but the reason for TINS action was
kept close secret. This morning, how,
ever, It was learned that a shortage bad
been discovered In PascOe's accounts. The
Finance Committee had been at work on
the books for some time, and a. soon as
they were convinced OF the shortage they
reported to the convention. What trans
pred in the secret session is known 0nlytO
the delegates themselves, but PiscOe had
severed his connection with the executive
department Of the unioR when the doors
were re0pened, One delegate said this
morning that Pascoe had eyinced no desire
to make an explanation Of the mud
die, though gwen an opportunity t.
do so. Another said there was no
shortage, only a general miX.up o!
accounts occasiOncd 10y an incompetent
man trying TO keep set OF books without
knowing anything about bookkeeping.
The report he made was very incomplete.
The Chiids- DreXel fund u said to be about
all right. About $500 was pad Pa'coe
during the convention. and he was able g.
account for all but about $50 OF this >sm.
PaScOe claimed he had other moneys be-
longing to The fund in Philadelphia, and
that he did not think It necessary to bring
the money along. The trustees believe
this money is all right. The Finance Com
mittee this morning SAID they had worked
all night on the accounts, but they were IN
as great a mudde as ever, and 1t will take
two or three days TO straighten them. Pas.
coo handled between $1,000 and $4,000
during the year, aud was under bond o.
$500. He will leave for home to-day.
The convention again went into secret ses-
sion this morning.
When the doors were opened the report
OF tie Committee on subordinate Unions
was taken up. IL was decided that 10
foreman shall have the right to discharge
an incompetent sub" when the regular
has not been notified OF the "sub's" in.
competency.
IL was resolved that the report OF the
Committee on Unfair Offices be adopted by
tue convention aud given into the hands Of
The Buii1lo Union with Instructions to
CARY out the recommendations.
The convention then went into secret
session.
The report on unfair Offices was sub
miltcd to the secret session Yesterday. \
member oil the committee states this morn
ing that they had strong hopes OF union
ling two Oi the unfair offices in the cry.
The Typographical Convention adjourned
to-day. NoSt Of the mitters under discus,
sion we're left unsettled.
